"I think the balance has been really good," MTSU coach Kermit Davis said. "Those three have been really consistent players.

"We've had a lot of balanced scoring. But when we find that fourth and fifth scorer is when we'll be really, really good."

Here's a closer look at MTSU's top scorers"

Upshaw's production from last year's Conference USA title run and NCAA Tournament upset has not dropped. In fact, the Chattanooga native is putting up better numbers than he did last season. Upshaw is averaging more points per game (15.6) and needs just three points to reach 1,300 for his career.

"Reggie is versatile," Williams said. "Not many post players can take the ball up the court like he does and can also shoot it from deep.

"So I think that has really led to his scoring so far."

Williams, a former Arkansas starter, leads the Blue Raiders in scoring (17.4) and rebounds per game (7.1). What Williams has brought to this year's squad is what MTSU lost when last year's forward/center Darnell Harris graduated. Williams has excelled in the mid-range game and has flashed his post-scoring abilities in each game. Williams has just had one game under double-digits this season.

"JaCorey shares the ball to get himself open," Potts said. "He takes the ball up the post, takes the ball screen, gets the ball back and shoots from mid-range."

Potts led the nation in 3-point percentage during the 2015-16 season. Although his 3-point percentage is down this year, Potts has played a nice complementary role and has still boosted his points per game average (16.1). Potts has been at his best scoring in big games like MTSU's road win at Ole Miss and a home win against Vanderbilt.

Potts was pleasantly surprised after practice Tuesday to find out he's part of a group that is in the same conversation as UNC-Wilmington, Kentucky, Arizona State and Marshall.

"Giddy utilizes his shot fake a lot more," Upshaw said. "He knows people are going to close out on him a lot more.

"When he comes off the screens, he uses his shot fake to get to the paint, which has really improved his scoring."
